The  Early  Records  of  the  Town  of  Newport, 

now    in  the    custody   of   the    Newport 

Historical    Society 

At  the  time  of  the  British  evacuation  of  Newport,  in 
October,  1779,  the  early  records  of  the  town  were  carried 
away  in  a  small  vessel  accompanying  the  fleet,  m  charge  of 
the  Tory  Sheriff,  Walter  Chaloner. 

This  vessel  was  wrecked  in  Hell  Gate,  and  the  records  re- 
mained under  water  for  several  days,  becoming  thoroughly 
soaked  before  they  were  rescued  and  placed  unopened  in  a 
New  York  store  house. 

When  they  were  returned  to  Newport,  in  1782,  it  was 
found  that  the  earliest  and  latest  volumes  were  completely 
destroyed,  and  the  others  were  in  a  dilapidated  and  perisha- 
ble condition.  They  were  placed  in  the  vault  at  the  old  City 
Hall,  but  there  were  no  facilities  for  their  proper  care,  and 
even  the  tenderest  handling  produced  further  decay. 

As  these  old  documents  are  necessary  in  obtaining  clear 
titles  to  property,  back  to  the  early  days,  and  are  of  great 
value  and  interest  to  antiquarians,  the  Newport  Historical 
Society  felt  that  an  effort  should  be  made  to  rescue  the 
papers  from  such  an  unfortunate  condition,  and  agreed  to  care 
for  them  and  superintend  their  restoration.  Under  a  resolu- 
tion of  the  City  Council,  in  January,  1894,  the  records  were 
deposited  with  the  Society,  and  since  then  the  volumes  have 
been  arranged  by  the  librarian  and  then  preserved  by  the 
Emery  Record  Preserving  Company  in  Taunton,  whenever 
appropriations  have  been  made  by  the  city,  for  this  work. 

The  Emery  Silk  process  i-enders  the  damaged  records  ac- 
cessible and  insures  them  from  future  deterioration.  It 
consists  of  preserving  each  leaf  or  document,  between  sheets 
of  transparent  silk,  which  leaves  the  writing  as  clear  as 
before,  and  even  clearer  after  exposure  to  the  light  and  air. 
New  margins  of  inlaid  paper  which  protect  the  writing  at  the 


edges  of  the  original  leaves  help  also  to  make  a  strong 
binding. 

Since  the  Newport  records  have  been  deposited  with  the 
Historical  Society,  many  volumes  have  been  arranged,  pre- 
served and  indexed.  Hundreds  of  visitors  have  examined 
them,  and  many  letters  have  been  received  and  answered 
concerning  them.  They  are  always  carefully  guarded,  and 
are  placed  in  the  vault  especially  erected  for  them,  when  not 
in  use. 

All  who  appreciate  the  charm  and  interest  of  these  old 
papers  are  cordially  invited  to  see  them  while  they  are  in  the 
custody  of  the  Society.
